Premier League tiebreakers: What happens if Manchester City and Liverpool finish even on points?

On the final Sunday of the Premier League season, Liverpool and Manchester City are separated by a single point. What happens if they tie?

Liverpool faces Wolves, while City has a match against Aston Villa. The chances of both teams being even on points are slim, but if Liverpool were to draw against Wolves, and City lost to Villa — that’s exactly what would happen.

Here’s everything you need to know.

Liverpool last won the Premier League title just two seasons ago, while City are going for back-to-back titles. Jurgen Klopp’s side still have a chance to break that streak before it even begins.
